'Get Your Act Together' Poem by Linda Winchell

Get your act together
read the script, lines written verse.
Your audience is only that of one
judging everything you've rehearsed.

Do not wait until show time
when your curtain rises up.
Trying to remember what lines you've read
that will never be enough.

One day you'll be called onto the stage
to parade your skills of given task.
And then the words of judgment
questions of you, your God will ask.

Did you practice your script my child?
Did you read the book I gave?
Did you come to Me for forgiveness?
Of which to you, was a promise made.

Or have you waited till the call was heard?
Then tried to cram in every word.
For now your curtain call has come
For I am your judging audience
the supreme audience of one.
